How are you supposed to balance your pitching staff. I have a total of Ten pitchers including 2 on the bench. I'm trying to learn this stuff quick. Everyone is passing me in the league. Here is my pitching staff. Is there an optimal balance that i need to have to reach maximum potential? There are only 7 teams in our league for some reason, that is why we are doing rotessiere.

How many teams in your league. Your pitching looks fine to me. You have 4 closers, Peavy and Harang will probably help you finish highly in Ks. Other than that your SP are middle of the road. 4 closers means youll probably finish in 1st in saves.

If it is only 7 teams in the league, you need to realize that we are only talking about the top 150 players in baseball. Also it is only the first week, so I wouldn't worry to much about the league passing you. Is this league daily or weekly? In either case I would have all my closers in the lineup everyday, and simply play the matchups for starters. Also don't be afraid to load up your bench with SP, since they could make solid trade candidates later in the season, and it will give you more "Matchups" to play.

check your game settings, is their a cap on the number of innings you can pitch?
